In reply to the discussion: Some Democrats start calling for Biden to step aside and 'throw in the towel' on 2024 [View all]EarlG
(23,258 posts)not one single Democrat that the reporter contacted wanted to be named.
Go read the entire article. Not one single named source. "A Democratic lawmaker." "A Democratic strategist." "A Democratic operative." And on and on.
I have no doubt that these are real people who actually said these things to the reporter. But the fact that he couldn't get a single one of them to give their names tells me that this ain't exactly a popular point of view. This isn't Trump's MAGA cult where non-believers are excommunicated -- Democrats are usually quite happy to shoot each other in the foot when things go wrong.
Yet the reporter couldn't find a single source willing to give their name along with what the reporter is implying is a popular opinion within the party.
If actual named Democrats actually start laying into Biden from the sidelines, I'd say we have a problem. Otherwise I'd say this is just shit stirring on the part of the reporter.
